Potent Quotable (August 2026)
“To all of those moments yet to unfold where we find ourselves awake to possibility we hadn’t anticipated. To all of the songs like windows, open just enough for us to make our escape, and to all of the songs like windows, closed and clear enough in a dim light to see our own reflection and be reminded of who we are.” -Jeff Tweedy
“We have a choice - to be on the side of creation, or surrender to the powers that destroy.” -Jeff Tweedy
“Maybe it’s a cliche, but you have to focus on verbs over nouns - what you want to do, not want you want to be.” -Jeff Tweedy
“I think it’s the coolest thing in the world when someone steps outside their so-called station in life to indulge in a personal “art for the sake of art” moment.” -Jeff Tweedy
“As the saying goes, “No work of art is ever finished; it can only be abandoned in an interesting place.” -Jeff Tweedy
“But it’s also about searching for, finding, and sharing some truth. That’s what I am looking for in everybody’s music, in every genre - having the truth exposed. A truth always comes out in art.” -Jeff Tweedy
“Imagination runs wild when you get down on the floor to color with some toddlers. Talk about inspiring! Ask a little kid to tell you about a painting they’re working on. It’s a miraculous thing. And I don’t think it’s unreasonable to aspire to that level of artistic liberation.” -Jeff Tweedy
Be good to each other,
